Sweet, PhD Expert Advisor: Tricia Gates-Brown Copyright © 2018 by Mindy Smith All rights reserved ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have come to completion without the unending support and encouragement of a number of people within my community of faith. I am forever grateful to my devoted partner, best friend, and husband Kyle. Thank you to you and our children for the constant cheerleading and numerous pep talks. Thank you to my parents who shaped the way I think about ministry and modeled a life focused on Jesus Christ. A special thanks to my mentor, pastor, and brother in Christ, Eric Peterson, who believed in me long before I did. Thank you to Whitworth University and Colbert Presbyterian Church for your support through this process as well as my colleagues in ministry. I am humbled and grateful for all the ways you supported my work. I consider this research to be a celebration of the incredible gifts of preaching women have brought to the church and an encouragement for the future women to preach boldly. This is a continuation of my undergraduate degree at Whitworth University when Dr. Dale Bruner challenged me to think theologically about the women who preached in the scriptures, and Dr. Nancy Lammers Gross at Princeton Theological Seminary who reminded her preaching students, male and female, to preach faithfully to a world desperate for the good news. Their influence runs throughout this research. Finally, this dissertation was written for a Doctor of Ministry program “Preaching as Story” at Portland Seminary. This program broadened my thinking, expanded my paradigm for preaching and changed the way I approach my ministry. My heart will be forever grateful for studying under Dr. Len Sweet. The lessons you have taught me are woven throughout my work. I want to thank Lori Wagner for the passion for my topic and the ways in which her preaching voice taught and strengthened mine. David iii McDonald, you walked faithfully with us bringing humor, challenge, and creativity in brilliant ways to better us all as preachers. To my cohort: Amanda, Bruce, Nathan, Kory, Jim, Meghan, Jamale, Valerie, Brandon, Kevin, and Jennifer – thank you for all for the journey together. Special thanks to Tricia Gates Brown for all of your wisdom on the artifact. Finally, a huge thank you to Colleen Butcher for her editing work. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... vi INTRODUCTION ...............................................................................................................1 SECTION 1: THE PROBLEM ...........................................................................................4 The Problem of Theology ..............................................................................................7 The Unsupportive Church ............................................................................................10 The Survey ...................................................................................................................16 SECTION 2: OTHER PROPOSED SOLUTIONS ..........................................................26 Voice Retrieval ............................................................................................................27 Role Models .................................................................................................................30 Voice Restoration .........................................................................................................31 The Spiritual Gift of Preaching ....................................................................................33 Women’s Voices: Personal Stories from the Survey .................................................35 SECTION 3: THESIS .......................................................................................................39 The Story ......................................................................................................................39 God’s Voice as Male & Female ...................................................................................42 Jesus’ Invitation to Women to Preach .........................................................................45 The Samaritan Woman at the Well ............................................................................46 Mary Magdalene ........................................................................................................51 Historical Perspective: Women Who Paved the Way ..................................................59 Role Models & An Invitation ......................................................................................65 The Power of Story ......................................................................................................68 Conclusion ...................................................................................................................71 SECTION 4: ARTIFACT DESCRIPTION ......................................................................73 SECTION 5: ARTIFACT SPECIFICATION ..................................................................75 SECTION 6: POSTSCRIPT .............................................................................................81 APPENDIX A: ARTIFACT .............................................................................................81 BIBLIOGRAPHY ............................................................................................................142 v ABSTRACT Story is a paradigm for how women shape their preaching identity. Women preachers benefit from developing their voice through the stories of women in scripture, and the voices of women from the past and present day who have found their authentic preaching voices. Shaping a voice through story is a model in which the preaching identity can develop, and as a result minimizes insecurity, stress and fear around the craft of preaching. Section One defines the preaching identity and examines the elements that form identity. It explores the challenges that have impacted how women understand their role in preaching. Section Two identifies and analyzes the other approaches writers have taken to support women preachers in voice development. This includes voice retrieval, voice restoration and spiritual work. It concludes by suggesting where these approaches fall short and what is needed to develop a meaningful preacher identity. Section Three presents the theological argument of the power of story as a possible solution. Looking first at how stories are formidable tools to shape identity, story, is presented and evaluated as a paradigm to develop and strengthen women’s voice in preaching and ministry. Section Four and Five contain a book proposal for She Proclaims: Stories of Women Who Preach. This book will be written to help women preachers think about the craft of proclamation through the stories of exemplary women preachers. Section Six provides a postscript and suggestions for further research. vi INTRODUCTION The first day I arrived at Princeton Theological Seminary, I dumped my few belongings into my small dorm room and headed down to the welcome picnic for new students. Nervously, as I stood in line to spoon up some potato salad, I caught the eye of a woman across the table reaching for a hot dog bun. We both looked at each other curiously. After exchanging names, and where we were from, we quickly realized we shared a mutual friend. We instantly connected. She too was starting seminary the next day. Her name was Anna. After working in a Christian non-profit that served professional women, Anna left her career and was pursuing her call to ordained ministry. We finished our meal and took a walk around campus. Anna, looking distraught, described a somewhat traumatic experience that had happened to her the night before. She had arrived early to campus

ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 49 October 1993 CHOSEN BY GOD: THE FEMALE TRAVELLING PREACHERS OF EARLY PRIMITIVE METHODISM The Wesley Historical Society Lecture 1993 t is just over a hundred years since the last Primitive Methodist female travelling preacher died. Elizabeth Bultitude (1809-1890) I had become a travelling preacher in 1832 and she superannuated after 30 years in 1862, dying in 1890. Of all the female itinerants the first, Sarah Kirkland (1794-1880), and the last, Elizabeth Bultitude, are the best known, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Forty years ago Wesley Swift, wrote in the Proceedings about the female preach­ ers of Primitive Methodism: We have been able to identify more than forty women itinerants, but the full total must be considerably more.\ This was the starting point of my inquiry. First it is necessary to take a brief look at the whole question of women preaching. The Society of Friends, because they maintained both sexes equally received Inner Light, insisted that anyone who felt so called should be allowed to preach. So it was that many women within the Quaker movement were able to exercise their gifts of preaching without restriction. Many women undertook preaching tours both in this country and abroad, finding release from male-dominated society and religion and equal status with I Proceedings, xxix, p 79. 78 PROCEEDINGS OF THE WFSLEY HISTORICAL SocIETY men in preaching the word of God. For many years female preach­ ing was, on the whole, limited to the Quakers while the other denominations ignored it as being against Scripture, especially the Pauline injunction about women keeping silence in the church.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

    Proceedings OF THE Wesley Historical Society Editor: E. ALAN ROSE, B.A. Volume 56 February 2008 CHARLES WESLEY, 'WARTS AND ALL': The Evidence of the Prose Works The Wesley Historical Society Lecture 2007 Introduction ccording to his more famous brother John, Charles Wesley was a man of many talents of which the least was his ability to write A poetry.! This is a view with which few perhaps would today agree, for the writing of poetry, more specifically hymns, is the one thing above all others for which Charles Wesley has been remembered. Anecdotally I am sure that we all recognise that this is the case; and indeed if one were to look Charles up in more or less anyone of the many general biographical dictionaries that include an entry on him one will find it repeated often enough: Charles is portrayed as a poet and a hymn­ writer; while comparatively little, if any, attention is paid to other aspects of his work. On a more scholarly level too one can find it. Obviously there are exceptions, but in general historians of Methodism in particular and eighteenth-century Church history more widely have painted a picture of Charles that is all too monochrome and Charles' role as the 'Sweet Singer of Methodism' is as unquestioned as his broader significance is undeveloped. The reasons for this lack of full attention being paid to Charles are several and it is not (contrary to what is usually said) simply a matter of Charles being in his much more famous brother's shadow; a lesser light, as it were, belng outshone by a greater one.
